First Snorkel - Egypt

Thumbnail pages:  Pyramids | Sphinx | Sharm el Sheikh | Tourist stuff

Most hotels in Sharm el Sheikh have a jetty - often across a coralline platform which drops to 5-10m initially before sloping off into deeper water, this is what you see here.

This is often the first introduction to snorkeling in the Red Sea. If you are there, you need to stick your head under water with a mask on. Even if you aren't instantly grabbed by the diving / snorkelling bug, hopefully you'll appreciate and be amazed by what is there.

What is down there? - One of the most condensed and complex ecosystems on earth, this fluid and indistinct image taken from above the surface cannot begin to show what is below the surface.

In the water is my son Niall (12 at the time) on one of his first snorkelling outings. Within a couple of days, he was diving down to 7m with confidence and reached 10m by the end of our week there - in the process being hooked (for life) by the underwater marine world.
